My Pogonomyrmex rugosus woorkers have laid sideways and kick when they are barely coming out of the pupae stage. I've also seen workers taken out of there cocoons prematurely from my other colonies and they'll lay there for a few days.

Keep observing. My species don't form cocoons but my P. rugosus and P. subnitidus had new workers like that where they're laying down for a while and they'll move but they're not standing. They eventually do get up though. Maybe they opened the cocoons prematurely like Pleming mentioned which makes sense.
